Category: Proposed Laws

Another stupid law, this time in my backyard! I guess stupid politicians are everywhere. If passed into law this bill would address, “higher prices for clothes, shoes, hair cuts and other services.”

I’m all for fairness, but shouldn’t the market determine pricing? If femals feel they get gouged at shop X, then don’t shop there any more. The way I understand capitalism is that the price of a good or service is determined by how much people would be willing to pay for it. I know I’m not willing to pay more for fancy dry skin creme. I buy the cheap stuff, that doesn’t smell bad. In general, the guy ‘themed’ cremes are cheaper. Perhaps this is because guys don’t buy the expensive skin cremes ergo, the price of male themed skin cremes is cheaper. Would this bill force the price of skin creme for men higher? The humanity!

Besides, on average doesn’t a womens haircut require more work and skill than a mans?

Is Gender-Based Pricing Fair?

It must be that ‘the man’ thinks this can be easily done. Just another reason to move to Utah: 10 wives, and no porn. Does this mean that the people with 10 wives need porn too? Or is that that the 9 guys without need it really bad.

Should the people who make and sell “violent video” games be held accountable if someone commits a crime because of playing them?

Washington state lawmakers are considering adding liability to game makers and sellers of violent video games liable if someone under 17 years old commits a crime, due in any part, to playing a game. So does that mean that if someone under 17 happens to learn how to do some civic good from video games that ‘game makers and sellers of educational video games be rewarded?

Nope.
